series aired last night saw over 10 million viewers tune in, the highest viewing figures of the series to date.<\/p>\n<p>The figures released included viewers who saw the show over on ITV+1, an average audience of 10.9m million watched the hour long episode, peaking with a huge audience of 12.3 million, making the show the most watched for four years.<\/p>\n<p>However, over on the BBC last night, it must be a nervous time for the show&#8217;s bosses as The Voice UK saw a decline of some 600,000 viewers on last Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The first of the battle rounds aired last night received
